Can we lighten the mood a little bit for Pokémon Day, Bob.

Okay serial, that's too light.

Correct. It was just a hobby for him previously

Settle down, Erwin Schrödinger

Every version of 'Killing Me Softly' is beautiful, though The Fugees recording is the one I'm most familiar with.

Getting random here: I just did a lyrics quiz on Sporcle for Toto's Africa. I've spent my whole life thinking "Kilimanjaro rises like a lepress above the Serengeti." Turns out it's "Olympus above the Serengeti." Because of this misheard lyric and its mental image, I've also spent my whole life until 20 minutes ago thinking that "lepress" was a word for a female leopard. It's not

Omg. When I first heard it on the wireless it was Olympus.
Get your ears checked pronto.

That's just what they want you to believe mate. You stick to your guns!

 

[Dinsdale]

Topwise.

Checks directions... bzzzt, you fail. That's not an acceptable term unless you're on discworld

Oh no, your whole premise is falling apart!

He's referring to quarks.

I just played it, and yes, the lyric is Olympus, but I still maintain the interpretation I had as a child suits the theme of the song better.

It would just require the dictionary to be rewritten to make it work.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Sounds like a duck from Boston to me

 

[Moo]

No nerdy kids around that watched the Curiosity Show then?

They so got drunk and kissed......then realised it would never work.....they then vowed never to speak of this experiment ever again.

Okay, this thread seems to have been derailed into the youthful memories of some of you, so here's something that perfectly encapsulates the sense of anticipation and intimidation that confronts a person for their first time. Fair warning though, after viewing this you will most definitely not require any pharmacological intervention to help you along, so I suggest if you're going to click on the spoiler tag first make sure you're neither in a public place nor around anybody who will shame you for doing what will come naturally.
